Diana's Photo~Art
USA

Hi my name is Diana Haronis. Welcome to my gallery! I am an artist, photographer and photo-artist. As far back as I remember I have been interested in photography, art, poetry and the mystical side of life. The magic of capturing a moment in time, whether that be a photograph, a fantasy image or a passing thought, intrigues me. Everywhere there is a unique passage, a magical instant waiting to be captured before it passes forever into eternity.
My path as an artist has been to explore the wonder and beauty of both the natural and mystical realms and recreate what I see in a medium that can be shared with others. For me, creating art is a form of meditation and sacred communion with the divine. As a result, I view each piece of art as a living image with its own essence and unique energy.
I love nature, animals, fairies, enchanted realms and all that is uplifting and brings a little more light and magic into the world! Children are particularly inspiring for me because they are so genuine, expressive and naturally creative!
I am always exploring new mediums of artistic expression, my latest being the wonderful Photoshop Artistry course by Sebastian Michaels. It has opened up a whole new level of creativity for me and I am thoroughly enjoying the journey!
Currently I am working on creating a Tarot Deck as well as completing a set of Healing Angel Cards I designed as fractal energy images. I am also a contributing photographer for Getty Images where much of my photography is available to license.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I wish you light on your path.

A little girl and her dog look through an archway in an old medieval building into a world from the past. Another little girl and her goat glance back at them. The more things change the more they stay the same...

I love animals and especially dogs! The idea of a champion for them appeals to me! Three of the dogs in the picture are ones I have rescued, including Super Dog. This is the first in my "Dogs Are Awesome" series.

This is #4 in my "Dogs Are Awesome" series. Here the dogs are visiting their Artsy Paws Gallery. The first three pictures in the series are hanging on the gallery wall along with 2 other of my doggie art pictures. The dog with the crystal ball is my little Alex who is about 19 years old now! We don'...

The Iris is a symbol of valor and has been used as an emblem of both Florence Italy and France. The well known Fleur-de-lis is fashioned from the Iris.
It is also thought to represent wisdom, faith, friendship, hope and promises in love.

I started this piece with some photos I took of the colorful streets near Montmartre. I was so inspired by the creative and artsy feel of the place!
"I don't want life to imitate art. I want life to be art."
~ Ernst Fischer

She guards over the forest and the animals in the wild. She calls to mind this quote I have always loved: “Let’s take our hearts for a walk in the woods and listen to the magic whispers of old trees.” ~Unknown

In our effort to possess a thing of beauty we often end up destroying it.
This quote comes to mind:
“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about ap...

"I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don't want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic."
~ Charles de Lint

“Steampunk is...a joyous fantasy of the past, allowing us to revel in a nostalgia for what never was. It is a literary playground for adventure, spectacle, drama, escapism and exploration. But most of all it is fun!”
― George Mann

I love the innocence of children and animals. They are able to find the magic and wonder in everyday moments that most adults take for granted!
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who...

"There are times when I feel like a stranger on a crowded street, far from home, in some foreign land, where everyone wears masks and nods politely at my passing." ~ Diana Haronis (from my poem Times Like These)

This gorgeous Cormorant posed so nicely for me I just had to immortalize him in some lovely art! This quote comes to mind... "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~ Albert Einstein

I have always loved the peace and mystery of old cemeteries. Here the angel has come to gather the souls of those who have passed and guide them to the other side.
"Death is not extinguishing the light; It is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come." ~Rabindranath Tagore

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” ~ Carl Sagan. As an astrologer, I am continually in awe of how our lives are guided, mapped out and interlaced with the stars and the movement of planets! “Be humble for you are made of earth. Be...

"The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach."
CARL JUNG, The Meaning of Psychology for Modern M...

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” ~ Leo Buscaglia

It is a record of all they have done as well as a guide through their path...

Some did not believe in fairies, but she knew the truth of it. They often came out in the 'tween time...the slim doorway between night and day... just as the world was waking and the morning dew was glistening like jewels on her garden ... or when the setting sun painted the tired world with a golde...

A gargoyle guards the castle from a tower high above the sea. Gulls fly by in a stormy sky. " The ancient ones are watching us. They look out with haunted eyes, from ages past, through gnarled oaks and crumbling stone structures. They are watching. They see, they remember, and all that they beho...

Some years ago I rescued Emily... or more accurately, she rescued me. What a wise and beautiful soul she was... much more than a pet. She was my soul mate. I will love and miss her always. XO
"A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you have that in your life, things won't be too bad." ~ Robert...

She seemed to walk between the worlds… a faery soul who's presence one felt could vanish in an instant! Magic draped around her like a veil. Her eyes held stories of far off mystical realms and her penetrating gaze had the power to lay bare your deepest secrets… ~ Diana Haronis
